Wow! I just had a look at the calendar and realised I have been in London for seven weeks now. I don't where the days have gone, it has been a whirlwind since I arrived.

After working at fashion week, the following days, and subsequent weeks have been spent looking for more work. I had a couple of possible opportunities with event companies, but nothing solid as yet. So, lots of hours spent online, refining my CV, and many trips to the post office.

For some strange reason, they prefer applications mailed rather then emailed. All a bit backwards if you ask me.

Aside from all this, I have had a few auditions as well. If nothing else, it has been great to get back into the habit of auditioning regularly, something I haven't really done since my time in Australia. I have had auditions for three cruise ship contracts which sound interesting, an audition for the UK and European tour of a show and just recently an audition for Madame Tussards.

So, the news flash is - literally as I was typing this post - Madame Tussards rang me. I have been cast along with 7 others as an entertainer performing to the crowds at the waxworks museum for the next three months! It sounds like a lot of fun and hard work but I am so looking forward to it. In fact I start my first shift tomorrow!

So what else have I been doing? Not one to shirk my responsibilities as a movie-going citizen, I have been to see a few films. It has been interesting going to the different movie theatres over here, some are absolutely amazing spaces. So far I have seen The Black Dalia, The Guardian, The Departed, World Trade Centre (in digital sound and video, very cool!), The Wicker Man and Children of Men.

I have also been along to the live recording as a member of the studio audience for a couple of talk shows. Johnathon Ross (a bit like Rove Live) was very entertaining, he had Russell Crowe on the show talking about his new film A Good Year. The other show was Parkinson, a show I have been watching on telly for as long as I could remember. He had actor Ray Winstone talking about his role in The Departed and Eric Idle talking about the West End opening of the Monty Python Musical 'Spamalot'. They were both a lot of fun and very entertaining - not too bad for a free night out!!

Speaking of the West End, I couldn't have been in London this long without seeing any musicals! A couple of weeks ago I went to see Avenue Q, a musical loosely based on Sesame Street, complete with the muppets!

And just last Thursday I went to see Spamalot which was amazing! We were up in the nose bleed seats (literally 5 stories up!) but that didn't matter at all. The legendary Tim Curry was playing the title role as King Arthur and he was hilarious! My favourite moment was when the cast was singing 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' and the whole audience was singing along!

Well, now that I am in paid employment, I am looking forward to finally having a look outside of London - I sense a few long weekends exploring Britain, Ireland and maybe a sneaky trip or two to Paris coming up! Watch this space!!
